This guy decided not to wear shoes for eight years. I’m not sure why anyone would voluntarily choose to do that – especially as there are obviously people in the world who have never worn shoes, and it generally doesn’t look like it’s going too well for them – but the effect on his feet is fairly interesting as he practically has his own leather soles due to the toughness and roughness he’s had to endure.

I still can’t figure out why this dude would not want to wear shoes though as he looks like a fairly normal guy from all his photographs, although he does look slightly like Piers Morgan which must be a bit annoying for him. Still, that’s no reason to not wear shoes, unless perhaps it’s an extreme method of identification for him so he never gets mistaken for Piers. I can understand why somebody might want to do that. But seriously, if anyone knows the actual reason he decided to do this it would be great if you could let us know.

Check out some pictures of his gross feet on this and the following pages, and always try to wear shoes yourself to avoid anything like this happening to you:
